Carl, I think it was made around 2009 (IIRC). There are not very many of these made. The steel is truly mesmerizing in person. The Wootz is supposedly as close to true modern damascus as you can get. The grain is not from pattern welding, but is the actual structure of the carbonites...

It's really cool. One of the nicest looking razors I've seen here all year. I really like nice design like that... Originally Posted by LegalBeagle
